By God's grace at the June 8 meeting, the Lazarus Fund Ministry Team distributed $200 grants totaling nearly $10,000 to help local families pay their rent and utility bills. This will not happen in July because the fund is out of money and the ministry team has stopped accepting applications. As a result, a vital ministry in nearly 20 churches has been suspended at a time of crisis for many households.
The team thanks everyone for their past generosity, especially most recently on Lazarus Sunday in March, which has kept the fund going thus far. They are now asking for your prayer and your contributions. If you want to support the Lazarus Fund ministry, checks can be sent to Pittsburgh Presbytery, 901 Allegheny Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15233, with "Lazarus Fund" noted on the memo line.
